Eval and get awk output assigned to variable

I want to do 2 things in single line that is evaluating a command to get return code and store $2 of awk if the command exit code is 0.

Code:
eval "ade desc ${filename}@@/<branch_name> | grep Version | awk '{print $2}' 2>&1 1>/dev/null"
ret=$?
        echo "$ret $val"
        if [ $ret == 0 ]
        then
                array_b2+=(${filename})
                continue
        fi

Here I am able to get the exit code but how to get the value obtained after awk command executed?

PAPI_strerror(3)						       PAPI							  PAPI_strerror(3)

NAME
PAPI_strerror - Returns a string describing the PAPI error code. SYNOPSIS
Detailed Description C Interface: #include <papi.h> char * PAPI_strerror( int errorCode ); Parameters: code -- the error code to interpret Return values: *error -- a pointer to the error string. NULL -- the input error code to PAPI_strerror() is invalid. PAPI_strerror() returns a pointer to the error message corresponding to the error code code. If the call fails the function returns the NULL pointer. This function is not implemented in Fortran. Example: * int ret; * int EventSet = PAPI_NULL; * int native = 0x0; * char error_str[PAPI_MAX_STR_LEN]; * * ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet); * if (ret != PAPI_OK) * { * fprintf(stderr, "PAPI error %d: %s0, ret, PAPI_strerror(retval)); * exit(1); * } * // Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet * ret = PAPI_add_event(EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS); * if (ret != PAPI_OK) * { * PAPI_perror( "PAPI_add_event"); * fprintf(stderr,"PAPI_error %d: %s0, ret, error_str); * exit(1); * } * // Start counting * ret = PAPI_start(EventSet); * if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret); * See Also: PAPI_perror PAPI_set_opt PAPI_get_opt PAPI_shutdown PAPI_set_debug Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for PAPI from the source code.
